obviously injury is a real concern

Is Domingo just a slow starter or did I way over value him? I saw him as a 35/10 .280/.850 kinda guy. Maybe Cutch with more power. Was I way off?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Projection looks about right. The issue is accounting for the major downside which is real and readily apparent
5:06
Maybe should have been 27/10/.275/.825
Poor man's George Springer is my regular comp
But like 25% of the outcomes are 12-team unplayable
non-injury outcomes I should add
5:07
Thinking probabilistically is hard
WHIP Appeal
5:07
Gallo or Miggy at 1B in OBP league?
Brad Johnson
5:07
...can't believe it's time for Gallo
Don'tBeAHader
5:07
Are M.Fulmer and Ryu kinda the same guy? 4-5th SP in a 12 team mixer?
Brad Johnson
5:07
No
Fulmer is much more talented, albeit with weaker support
5:08
Time to wrap it up folks.

Is José Martínez a sell high candidate? If his bat goes cold, his defence isn't keeping him in the line up
Brad Johnson
5:08
Yes, I like the sell high mentality
Just don't force the issue - as always
Yonny B. Goode
5:08
Think Yonny Chirinos sticks in the Rays "rotation" this time around? Is he a must-own in a 12-teamer?
Brad Johnson
5:08
"Should-own"
not yet a must
I do think he'll stuck in a Erasmo sort of way

I have a feeling Hoskins is going to frustrate owners. Ability for 37 homers but mature enough to take a bagillion walks and hit maybe 30 bombs? Like Votto-lite ish I guess.
Brad Johnson
5:09
The poor man Votto comp keeps coming back
As it warms up, I think more of those doubles will leave the yard.
5:10
Currently 6 2Bs and 2 HR
Last year it was 7 2B and 18 HR
I'm buying Hoskins in any case
Hank Chen

Do you think Tucker Barnhart's improvement in hitting is real? Or do you favor Kurt Suzuki in a league that counts BBs for hitters.
Brad Johnson
5:11
I'll buy Barnhart improving.
So he's still in small sample territory
but his change in production is right along the popular air ball path
5:12
Everybody is doing it so I'm more inclined to discount the likelihood of steep regression
it's an educated bet
The plate discipline is a little less certain
ok, I'm out of juice.
A good place to end, sans answer...
The Man With No Name
5:12
What's an Adam Cimber?
Brad Johnson
5:13
The guy from Name of the Wind
